Voyager and Galileo Images of Ganymede, The Ganymede images and mosaics thread Options

[Bjorn Jonsson]

I've been processing some of the high resolution Galileo Ganymede images recently. As far as I know the two mosaics below have not appeared at the official websites (at least not in this form) so in a sense they are 'new'.

The first one was obtained during the G1 flyby in 1996. It covers a part of Memphis Facula which is centered at roughly 15°N, 132°W. The images were obtained at a distance of approximately 5000 km from Ganymede's center.


The second one was obtained during the G28 flyby in May 2000. It is centered near 14.5°S, 319.7°W. The images making up the mosaic were obtained at a distance of roughly 4500 km from Ganymede's center.


I will probably post more Ganymede mosaics later this month or next month.
